Early life and education
Fanny Elisabeth Wilhelmina Hjelm was born on 6 November 1858 in Lindesberg, Sweden.
Known as Fanny Hjelm, she studied at Slöjdskolan (now Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design) and then at Konstakademien, the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm between 1878 and 1884.[2]
Career
Hjelm painted floral still lifes, landscapes and portrait miniatures, the latter often on ivory.[3] Sitters included prominent figures from Swedish society, and the arts, such as Ellen Roosval von Hallwyl[4] and members of the Swedish royal family, including King Gustaf V of Sweden and his Queen, Victoria of Baden.[5][6]
